Cosmetic & Eyelid CareFocused on you
Explore surgical and nonsurgical options with Sheila Shifrin, DO. Your consultation starts with your goals.
At Multack Eye Care we offer a number of surgical and non-surgical treatments for patients who want to fight the signs of aging and achieve a more youthful, refreshed appearance. For many, when the area surrounding the eyes begins to age, it can affect a person’s ability to see. When this happens, the surgery is deemed medical and can be covered by medical insurance. Surgery can also be performed for cosmetic reasons – to specifically improve and rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes and/or improve vision. Let our expert educate and support you in the right decision for your specific needs!
Common Eyelid Surgeries
Understanding Blepharoplasty
The upper and lower lids are subject to aging and require different approaches to revive them, so that they look their best. In upper lid blepharoplasty, loose skin along the upper eyelid is removed to reduce the hooded appearance that can make even the most energetic individual seem disengaged. In lower lid blepharoplasty, excess fat is removed or relocated to fill any hollowness around the eyes and give the eyes a brighter appearance. In both cases, the eyelids will remain at the same height, but the excess fat and skin is removed to alleviate the tired, haggard appearance.
Understanding Ptosis
Unlike blepharoplasty, ptosis involves changing the height of the eyelid, so that it rests higher up on the surface of the eye. This is useful for patients whose upper eyelids may actually cover the pupil, making it difficult to see. As a result, the surgery assists with both form and function, improving the patient’s quality of life.
Which One is Right for Me?
The need for blepharoplasty, ptosis or both is one that should be made in conversation with our caring and professional surgeons. Each patient is unique and, as a result, will require a different approach to receive the desired results. As a result, we recommend scheduling a consultation to better understand the steps you can take to restore youthfulness to your face.
At Multack Eye Care, we have helped many men and women restore a younger more energized appearance with the help of eyelid surgery. There is no better time to learn more about how we can serve you. So if you have questions and are ready to take the next step, do not hesitate to contact us.
Other Cosmetic Options
Explore nonsurgical options for facial lines and volume changes. We will help you understand the differences between BOTOX® Cosmetic, dermal fillers and skincare, and discuss which options may fit your goals.
BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe forehead lines, crow’s feet, frown lines, and vertical bands connecting the neck and jaw (platysma bands) in adults.
Your consultation begins with your facial anatomy, medical history and goals. We will discuss whether treatment is appropriate, the areas to consider and the benefits and risks. Results vary.
Important Safety Information
WARNING: DISTANT SPREAD OF TOXIN EFFECT
Talk to your doctor about BOTOX® Cosmetic and whether it’s right for you. There are risks with this product—the effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems or muscle weakness can be a sign of a life-threatening condition. If this happens, do not drive a car, operate machinery, or do other dangerous activities. Patients with these conditions before injection are at the highest risk. Swallowing problems may last for several months. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection-site pain, fatigue and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness. Don’t receive BOTOX® Cosmetic if there’s a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions (including ALS/Lou Gehrig’s disease, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome), and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

Dermal Fillers
There’s no faster, more immediate way than dermal fillers to reverse signs of aging. If you’d like to replenish lost volume, smooth away lines and wrinkles and plump your pout, then it’s time to consider tried-and-true FDA-approved dermal fillers.
Dermal fillers help:
- Lift sagging cheeks
- Smooth deep creases like nasolabial folds
- Diminish lines and wrinkles
- Restore lost volume
- Plump lips
- Smooth vertical lip lines (smoker’s lines)
- Fill in acne scars
- Restore a younger-looking, refreshed appearance
Multack Eye Care offers a complete line of dermal fillers, including:
- Juvéderm®
- Volbella®
- Vollure™
Facial fillers are much less invasive and more affordable alternatives to surgical face lifts, as they can quickly be administered in a doctor’s office without the use of anesthesia. There little or no recovery associated with these fillers and most results last several months before needing to be replenished.
Cosmetic consultations at Multack Eye Care are led by Sheila Shifrin, DO, a board-certified Ophthalmologist with a focus on eyelid and aesthetic care. Your treatment plan is tailored to your medical history, anatomy and goals.
LATISSE®: prescription eyelash treatment
LATISSE® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% is an FDA-approved treatment to grow eyelashes for people with inadequate or not enough lashes with results at 16 weeks.
A consultation with our team can help determine whether LATISSE® is appropriate for you. Results develop gradually and vary from person to person. Use it only as prescribed; continued treatment is needed to maintain the effect.
Important Safety Information
Do not use LATISSE® if you are allergic to one of its ingredients. If you use/used prescription products for eye pressure problems, use LATISSE® under doctor care. May cause brown darkening of the colored part of the eye which is likely permanent. LATISSE® may cause eyelid skin darkening which may be reversible. Only apply at base of upper lashes. DO NOT APPLY to lower lid. Hair may grow outside the treatment area. If you have eye problems/surgery, consult your doctor. Common side effects include itchy and red eyes. If discontinued, lashes gradually return to previous appearance.
These are not all the possible side effects of LATISSE®. For more information, please talk to your doctor.
